Okay, sure, the baby isn’t even here yet. Obviously, teething is a ways off, but NESTING! Wellements Baby recently sent me their Baby Tooth Oil, and they are sponsoring this post all about how I handle teething babies, so let’s talk teething, shall we? To start, I’ll say that my experience with 3 teething babies […]

I’m 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, which would seem really really pregnant to some people, but I have always had my babies 4-5 days after my due date, so I’m merely really pregnant. And yet, way too pregnant to do the following things: I’m too pregnant to wear a bra for more than 3 hours. This […]

It’s been a long while since I’ve blogged about how we plan to use cloth diapers on here. I have some really old posts in my archives from when I first cloth diapered my oldest- EIGHT YEARS AGO. Holy cow. In some ways, a lot has changed, but what hasn’t changed is that I’m STILL […]

So many people said to me, “You’ll just know. You’ll know when your family is complete.” And the last time I was pregnant, I was willing myself to know, but it never felt final. I mean, of course, I said I was done because, well, 3 was the plan. That was the agreed upon number, […]

Tomorrow is December! AHHHHHHHH!!!! via GIPHY It’s fine. I’m fine. Only a million things to do between now and Christmas. WAIT. I MEAN BEFORE I HAVE A BABY WHO IS DUE ON THE 16TH. I don’t even get until the 25th! I’m working with Allstate on this post to tell you all about their incredible […]

The turkey is officially all gone at our house, thanks to a giant pot of turkey soup I made for dinner last night. (It’s just chicken soup, but with turkey because I am super creative.) The trees are up. The toddler is sneaking candy canes every chance he gets. Joy! Merry! Bring on the holidays! […]

When I saw this giant fluffy yarn at Michaels, I immediately had a vision for it as a wreath, so I bought it in a couple colors. Bernat Blanket Big Stich ‘n Win yarn But not as a yarn wrapped wreath. I not-so-secretly detest yarn-wrapping wreaths. No patience! Instead, I thought it would be fun […]

Let me tell you a story about the first time I went grocery shopping at ALDI. It began as I’m sure most trips do there- at the grocery cart coral, as I tried to figure out how to retrieve my cart after inserting a quarter to, essentially, rent it. Momentarily, I felt really stupid and a little frustrated. […]

A few people have asked in the last couple days if I have advice for helping kids transition to big siblings, and helping the family adjust to a new baby, overall. The thing is, I’m not an expert. I mean, I’ve done this 2x before, but I don’t know that the way I handle it […]

“Hey, I noticed my urine sample is still in the bathroom. Do you need to get that to the lab?” “Oh, no. I don’t think they’re going to run it.” I’d been in the L&D unit at the hospital for about 2 hours at that point with monitors strapped to me to check baby’s heart, […]
